Out There: Ω Edition App Reviews

The game is good. Really good. Like easily the singular best mobile game I have ever played. Extremely hard and very addictive. But it crashes more a jack rabbit driving a john doe tractor, that is to say a lot. While the game does save, you can lose a minute or two of progress and the universe when you open it back up isnt quite the same. I would buy but remember to power thru the crashes.

Look at the reviews, many people that gave it one or two stars were gripping about the random chance of lucky that would bring their space odyssey to an end without understanding that this was the reason why the game has a great replay ability potential. Mind you that I was not much of a dedicated gamer across different platforms but this game changed it all. That is until this lame, lame update that does not give the players the ability of disabling the default cheat scheme that is part of the game now. Now there is not a way to die, to run out of air or fuel...after you reach a planet all levels default to 100%. Meaning, space exploration and challenge are out of the window. So, what is the purpose of even landing on the planets and risking life and limb? None what so ever. I am so very disappointed that this update has destroyed a gem. A real gem. It is a shame.

I love this game! Awesome atmosphere and great sense of loneliness. But after the most recent update, it says (cheats) in the corner of my screen and I dont want them... I also dont seem to be able to disable them, so I cant experience this games difficulty. Please fix.

On iPad, there seems to be some unusual cheat setting on that I cannot turn off...this makes the gameplay no fun. How can I get the game back to normal? Tried uninstall and reinstall, twice, did not work. Jim

What is with this cheats version? What is the point of playing the game when none of my resources are depleting? Downloaded the new 2.2.1 update and now I basically cant lose.

I just picked up this game because I though I would like it, I enjoy space games. But then I played it and couldnt seem to drain my resources no matter what I did. I then read the reviews for the current version and was surprised to find out that the only available version of the game is a cheat version in which your resources constantly go up. Please fix this, because I would like to experience this game the way its supposed to be experienced. And whats the point of a game about scavenging for fuel when you never run out?

latest update removes all challenge from game on all difficulty levels. I cant turn off "cheats" nor did I even turn them on. this needs to be fixed. seriously.

Came back to get the "cheats" version of this classic game when it was still available for download, but arrived a day or two early on other business, and had to wait until it was available. Now Mi-Clos Studios dog may be walking funny, but my Out There astronaut can never die. Runs fine on antique 5s, and both versions side-by-side on jailbroken 9s Plus in emulator.

3.5 stars before the cheat mode update. With this latest update a cheat mode is always on and absolutely destroys the game. you cannot turn it off and it creates a god mode experience that defeats the main purpose and challenge of the game. This was a really fun experience before the most recent cheat update. A few flaws here and there, a lot of other reviewers complain about the overly large role of random chance in the game, which could use a little more work. My complaints are mostly with certain game mechanics/UI, such as not marking already visited planets and not doing a better job with detailing system effects. Part of the fun is discovering how the world works, but it seems inconsistent and requires a lot of memorization, which kind of frustrates the experience. A lot of comparisons to FTL and it is similar, but not nearly as polished. FTL is near flawless in almost every aspect, so it is a tough comparison, but Out There comes close when it is working.

Echoing what everyone else is saying. Auto fill resource bug is annoying. Please fix.

What a cool game, the story line makes me want to keep playing. Toughness level makes it better because you die sooner and can start over....yes sounds bad but really its good because you want to see what else is "out there".

This was a great game then the cheats came on

I thoroughly enjoy this game. You guys have have done great! Please, keep me posted on any sort of developments, or new games you might be coming out with!

So I have played both versions of this game and I have always been a fan. I like the survival aspect a lot, and I enjoyed god mode a lot as well. I think it would be a great idea to keep both in the game. Like two different game play settings, or something. Make god mode optional. Just my two cents. This game is great and really makes you think and wonder about existence, I think. This game is truly an experience :)

Im never updating again...

Came back, played it and I truly enjoyed the "god mode" that you guys took off. What the crap! I personally dont care about no ladder boards; just the experience. Sorry I was just going to write a 5/5 review but then this killed it. Returned it, or put another setting dedicated JUST for that.

Very difficult game but fun to play. Thank you for removing the cheat mode!!

Easy game needs God .....

This game has a frustrating chance element, but that adds to the experience of trying to survive space (and finish the storyline). Replayability goes down a little after see each of the several possible endings, but I still come back to this gam regularly.

This game reminds me a bit of if waking Mars and 80 days were combined. Fast paced gameplay but the many options keep me guessing and wanting more. Good difficulty level and insane reply value.
